Starting to feel a little down by the jokes...

Dd is 4 and has the name Elsa. At the time we enjoyed the name being fairly uncommon. Now everywhere we go we get comments ranging from "ha bet you are glad the frozen film came out" to " ah were you named after Frozen". I know it probably sounds silly but it is starting to make feel little down. I keep wondering if we she start should start shortening her name to Ellie or El or use a middle name. Am I over reacting ? I sometimes cringe when we are out with the comments that are made. Also are there going to be a massive rise in the number of Elsa's ?

What does your DD think?

I know it's on a completely different level but my DD is Matilda and is overjoyed when she watches the film, and tells her friends about it.

Having two frozen mad girls myself, I would think they would both love to be called Elsa, and it is a beautiful name, and the frozen fever will eventually pass Smile

You should act all surprised and highbrow and tell them that she's actually named after Elsa from Wagner's 'Lohengrin' and that you've never heard of this 'Frozen' nonsense....
